1. Civil War Battles (2003). Son of the South. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war-battles.htm

This Civil War Battles site contains links of every battle that took place during the Civil War. If you are wondering how many battles there were and what the names were, this is the site to go on.

2. Battle of Gettysburg (2003). Son of the South. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/battle-gettysburg.htm

This Battle of Gettysburg site contains a lot of information on the actual battle and a little information on Lincoln's address. Although it is a little unorganized, it has useful information and relative pictures.

3. The American Civil War Homepage (1995). George H. Hoemann. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/warweb.html

This website is extremely long and has way too many links. I feel that it can be much more organized and can tone it down with all of the information. It is a real overload. I would suggest you use this website. Just advising that you might want to stay away from it.

4. Time Line of the Civil War, 1861 (n.d.). Joanne Freeman. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://international.loc.gov/ammem/cwphtml/tl1861.html

This time line is pretty good. The only thing is that it doesn't have too much information, and the navigation on the website is a little confusing. Other than the lack of a lot of information and the confusing navigation, the information is reliable.

5. Home of the American Civil War (n.d.). N/A. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://www.civilwarhome.com/

This website is poorly created, and a little unorganized. It is very opinionated. I suggest to stay away from it.

6. Facts about the Civil War (n.d.). Dr. Eunich Sweeney. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://www.idiotica.com/cranium/encyclopedia/content/civilwar.htm

This website has a lot of information organized in a very uncomfortable way to read. The information on it though, is reliable.

7. Civil War Events (n.d.). Martin Kelly. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://americanhistory.about.com/od/civilwarmenu/tp/secessionevents.htm

This website is a post from Martin Kelly and it lists nine of the many events that lead up to the Civil War. The information is good and its easy to read. I used this link for my students to read over.

8. Slavery as History (2000). Robert Louis Paquette and Louis A Ferleger. Retrieved April 14, 2011 from http://www.etymonline.com/cw/slavery.htm

This website came out of the book Slavery, Secession, and Southern History by Robert Louis Paquette and Louis A Ferleger. The excerpt is a valid part of slavery in history. It is a good page for research in slavery and a good page to check out the book where it came from.
